Yeah, he mentions it several times in the ad. But for the sake of argument, let's just say the price stays the same at 326. Then there is shipping which I think he said the lowest was 60. Then 60 more for the game since you get the instruments. (With or without a bass pedal, I don't know.)

Thats pushing 450 dollars with tax and such. How is that worth it to get a game 2 weeks early?

I'm losing faith in mankind...

haha don't lose faith in mankind, just accept that people will buy and sell anything on ebay, no matter what it is.

I agree with previous poster saying maybe none of us realize just how big Rock Band might be. With plenty of moms and dads and grams and gramps playing Karaoke and Guitar Hero, this might just be everything the Wii basically is lol (a very family-friend-party oriented monster that might be a little slow in taking off, but the instant someone actually plays Rock Band or a Wii, they are hooked)

I had a feeling something like this would happen with retailers getting demo versions, I'm not sure why. I would be interested to see just how much these things end up selling for, since I've already paid for a real version of the game, I'm not that interested in actually getting one. I do want to make my way to some places and play the demo though, I'm dying to play some Rock Band, especially after playing a few days of GH III.

Haha, he wrote that BB called him told him if he would return it he would get 100.00 GC. A reason why it probably get more money besides having it early because infact it is a demo and a promo item and people love that myself included. A promo item is always more money also half the time because just how rare it is.

Fake demos, eh? Some people are are so sneaky.

I apologise if this has been covered already, but has there been any announcement of an official Rock Band demo? Perhaps one made available via disc or Xbox Marketplaces?

There hasn't been any announcement of the sort, and I think the general consensus is that there probably won't be. At best you would just be able to play the guitar parts of the songs, and Harmonix probably doesn't want people's impression to be that the game is just a Guitar Hero clone.

[Nilsen31]

The real question is, who invented "HMX"?

was it someone at Harmonix or some random guy.

Sean I swear at my bestbuy they had a pedal. I dont know how!

EDIT: I just got back from there after buying a new wireless card for my laptop. I asked the guy that said he got it in. He told me he took it from a bundle that he recieved in shipping. I told him I think he's lying becuase of what sean said. It's shady as hell there.

Now a new one has approached on ebay this version for Ps3 sold by Walmart. Heres the Link.
